Dear Steve,

the problem seems to be within the times new roman font. The IE and PROTEL are by now the only two programs that does mix up the font.
When looking into the TTF file in the font directory everything seems to be OK.

BUT when selecting a font from within the option settings from IE. The only font that's mixed up is the times new roman font.
All other are NON italic shown.
For now I've changed the def. font to arial to be able to read the forum correctly.
Nevertheless Protel stil uses an italic times new roman font for default.

Still help needed.

PS. : changing from MS to Linux is the same as getting infected by a mayor virus. Don't get it to serious ... Been into Lindows and Linux. Been there, but returned to 'safe' ground.
